Computer Architecture Podcast:a series of conversations on cutting-edge work in computer architecture and the remarkable people behind it.
Announcing the release of Episode15: The Hardware Startup Experience from Business Case to Software, featuring Dr. Karu Sankaralingam, who is is a Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, an entrepeneur,
inventor, as well as a Principal Research Scientist at NVIDIA. His work
has been featured in industry forums of Mentor and Synopsys, and has
been covered by the New York Times, Wired, and IEEE Spectrum. He founded
the hardware startup SimpleMachines in 2017 which developed chip
designs applying dataflow computing to push the limits of AI generality
in hardware and built the Mozart chip. In his career, he has led three
chip projects: Mozart (16nm, HBM2 based design), MIAOW open source GPU
on FPGA, and the TRIPS chip as a student during his PhD. In his research
he has pioneered the principles of dataflow computing, focusing on the
role of architecture, microarchitecture and the compiler. He has
published over 100 research papers, has graduated 9 PhD students, is an
inventor on 21 patents, and 9 award papers. He is a Fellow of IEEE.
